"infinite loop" test can cause potential denial of service

when we use a bytecode which contains an "infinite loop" to test the aleth, the aleth will keep running and consume the memory and CPU resources until the out of memory and crash. If we use the crafted bytecode to attack the aleth-vm, is this a kind of denial of service?
